Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

In a first aspect, as shown in fig. 12 and 24, in one embodiment, the present invention provides a fully flexible display driving module, comprising:

a flexible substrate 100, the flexible substrate 100 comprising opposing first and second sides.

A flexible display driving system fabricated on a first side of the flexible substrate 100; the flexible display driving system includes a flexible chip 130 attached to a first side of the flexible substrate 100, and an interconnection structure disposed on the flexible substrate 100 and capable of covering the flexible chip 130. The interconnect structure includes: a second interconnect structure interconnecting between the plurality of flexible chips 130, the second interconnect structure in turn comprising second connection lines 142; a first interconnection structure for electrically connecting the flexible chip 130 and the flexible display screen 190, the first interconnection structure further including a first connection line 141; and a third interconnection structure for electrically connecting the flexible chip 130 and the control board, the third interconnection structure further including a third connection line 143. The flexible display driving system further comprises a flexible dielectric layer 150 encasing the interconnect structure. Note that the term "wrap" in this embodiment is not limited to complete enclosure, but also includes partial enclosure, for example, the first connecting line 141 is not completely enclosed by the flexible dielectric layer 150, but also belongs to the term "wrap" in this embodiment.

The flexible chip 130 includes a flexible display driving chip, and may further include a flexible touch chip and/or a flexible voltage stabilizing chip.

It should be noted that the first interconnect structure may include only the first connection line 141, and in other embodiments, the first interconnect structure may be any single structure or combined structure capable of implementing the function, and may specifically include conductors and/or devices, and the same holds true for the second interconnect structure and the third interconnect structure. In addition, "line" of the first, second, and third connection lines 141, 142, and 143 is merely represented as a conductor for connection, and its specific shape includes, but is not limited to, one or more of a line, a mesh, and a hole.

The first connecting line 141 penetrates through the flexible substrate 100, and has one end electrically connected to the flexible chip 130 and the other end located on the second side of the flexible substrate 100.

The flexible substrate 100 may be made of polyimide, but may be made of other materials.

The flexible chip 130 includes a driving chip, and may further include a touch chip or a voltage stabilizing chip.

The flexible chip 130 and the flexible substrate 100 are bonded to each other by a DAF film (die attach film).

The first connecting line 141 penetrates the flexible substrate 100, and one end of the first connecting line is electrically connected to the flexible chip 130, and the other end of the first connecting line extends to the second side of the flexible substrate 100. In other embodiments, the first connection line 141 may not penetrate through the flexible substrate 100, and may be externally wound. Since the second side of the flexible substrate 100 needs to be pressed with the flexible display 190 and the second side of the flexible substrate 100 needs to be provided with a conductive portion, the first connecting line 141 penetrates through the flexible substrate 100 to reach the second side of the flexible substrate 100, and when the flexible substrate 100 and the flexible display 190 are pressed together, an electrical connection is also established.

Certainly, in other connection modes, the second side of the flexible substrate 100 may not be provided with a conductive portion, and the second side of the flexible substrate 100 is provided with the conductive portion, so that the flexible display screen 190 and the flexible substrate 100 can be better pressed and combined, and the electrical connection can be realized only by pressing and combination, thereby improving the stability of integration. Secondly, through the mode that runs through, can make overall structure simpler and high-efficient.

The first connecting line 141 is provided with a metal bump 180 at one end of the second side of the flexible substrate 100, an anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200 is coated on one side of the flexible display screen 190, and the metal bump 180 is electrically connected to the metal flat cable 191 at the back of the flexible display screen 190 through the anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200. The anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200 has a characteristic of being conductive under pressure, and when it is partially pressed, the resistance is reduced, thereby achieving conductivity. The electrical connection between the first connection line 141 and the metal bus line 191 of the flexible display screen 190 can be more stable by the anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200. In the present embodiment, the first connection lines 141 are electrically connected to the metal bus bars 191 of the flexible display 190 by the metal bumps 180 pressing the anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200, but in other embodiments, the metal bumps 180 and/or the anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200 may be omitted, and other methods may be adopted.

The surface layer of the flexible dielectric layer 150 is provided with a mounting position 161, and a passive device 163 electrically connected with the second connection line 142 is mounted in the mounting position 161.

The passive device 163 is attached on the surface layer of the flexible medium layer 150, which is far away from the flexible substrate 100. In this way, considering that the thickness of the passive device 163 is large, if the passive device is disposed in the middle layer, the flexible dielectric layer 150 needs to be coated in a thick layer, however, since the material characteristics of the flexible dielectric layer 150 are not suitable for thick coating, and it is not easy to control thick coating, the flexible dielectric layer is disposed on the surface layer, and then the electrical protection can be performed by covering an electrical protection layer 170. The material of the electrical protection layer 170 includes an epoxy adhesive, which is easily applied thickly.

The surface layer of the flexible dielectric layer 150 may further be provided with an interface 162, and the interface 162 is used for exposing the third connection line 143 and electrically connecting with the control board.

The interface bits 162 are provided on the surface layer for facilitating the insertion of the external interface.

The material removing mode can be selected according to the sizes of the mounting position 161 and the interface position 162. If the size is larger and the required precision requirement is not high, the material can be removed by adopting a laser mode, and the cost is lower by adopting the laser mode; if the size is smaller and the required precision requirement is higher, a photoetching mode is adopted to remove materials. It should be noted that, if the material removing method adopts photolithography, the material of the flexible dielectric layer 150 at the corresponding position is a photosensitive material, such as photosensitive polyimide.

As shown in fig. 12, in an embodiment, the fully flexible display driving module further includes an electrical protection layer 170 disposed on the flexible dielectric layer 150 and capable of covering the passive device 163 to increase reliability and avoid external interference. Of course, the electrical protection layer 170 may be chosen not to be manufactured for cost reduction or other reasons. The material of the electrical protection layer 170 includes epoxy adhesive.

The electrical protection layer 170 also needs to reserve a channel for the interface bit 162, and can be removed by laser.

As shown in fig. 12 and 24, in one embodiment, the first connection line 141, the second connection line 142, and the third connection line 143 each include a seed layer 210 at a lower layer and a conductive metal 153 at an upper layer.

The purpose of the seed layer 210 is to make the exposed pads electrically conductive, as well as for the vias, so that they are electrically conductive. The seed layer 210 may be made of chromium or gold. The conductive metal 153 may be copper or other metal.

As shown in fig. 12 and 24, in an embodiment, the flexible medium layer 150 includes a first flexible medium layer 151 located at a lower layer and a second flexible medium layer 154 located at an upper layer, and the first flexible medium layer 151 and the second flexible medium layer 154 may be made of the same material or different materials. Both the first flexible dielectric layer 151 and the second flexible dielectric layer 154 are formed at the time of fabrication. The first flexible dielectric layer 151 is mainly used for manufacturing the first connecting line 141, the second connecting line 142 and the third connecting line 143, and the second flexible dielectric layer 154 is used for protecting the first connecting line 141, the second connecting line 142 and the third connecting line 143 and for subsequently attaching the passive device 163 or the next flexible chip 130. The first flexible dielectric layer 151 is considered to be used for forming a circuit, so that the requirement on material removal precision is high, and the first flexible dielectric layer is a photosensitive flexible dielectric layer capable of being subjected to photoetching; similarly, the second flexible medium layer 154 is used for forming a mounting site 161 and an interface site 162 for mounting a passive device 163 by using a material, or for mounting the next layer of flexible chip 130, so that a material with or without light sensitivity can be selected according to the size and precision requirements.

As shown in fig. 24, in one embodiment, the mounting site 161 is plated with a metal layer 164, and the passive device 163 is electrically connected to the second connection line 142 through the metal layer 164.

Specifically, a metal layer 164 is electroplated in the mounting site 161, and then the passive device 163 is mounted in the mounting site 161 by means of Surface Mount Technology (SMT), and the passive device 163 is finally electrically connected to the second connection line 142 by means of the metal layer 164, where SMT is suitable for leadless or short-lead device mounting.

Through above-mentioned full flexible display drive module, adopt flexible substrate 100 as the processing substrate, carry out the preparation of flexible display actuating system, finally only need fix flexible display screen 190 in flexible substrate 100 second side, can obtain full flexible display module. Thereby avoided among the prior art direct processing preparation on flexible display screen 190 to damage flexible display screen 190 easily, improved the yield of full flexible display module assembly, reduced comprehensive cost, improved production efficiency.

In a second aspect, as shown in fig. 25, in an embodiment, the present invention provides a fully flexible display driving module, which is different from the fully flexible display driving module in the above embodiments in that the flexible chip 130 and the interconnection structure are stacked in multiple layers. In the thickness direction of the flexible substrate 100, the first layer of flexible chip 130 and the interconnection structure corresponding to the first layer of flexible chip 130, the second layer of flexible chip 130 and the interconnection structure corresponding to the second layer of flexible chip 130 are sequentially disposed along the direction away from the flexible substrate 100, and so on, and the figure shows a two-layer structure, and in other embodiments, three layers, four layers, and so on may also be provided.

The multiple layers are designed in consideration that the number of the flexible chips 130 is large, and the electrical connection relationship among the flexible chips is complex, the manufacturing cannot be well completed on one layer.

Wherein, at least one interconnection structure comprises a first connecting line 141 for electrically connecting the flexible chip 130 of the layer and the flexible display screen 190, and at least one interconnection structure comprises a third connecting line 143 for electrically connecting the flexible chip 130 of the layer and the control board; the first connection line 141 penetrates through the flexible substrate 100, and has one end electrically connected to the flexible chip 130 of the layer and the other end located at the second side of the flexible substrate 100; the first connection line 141 and the third connection line 143 are also respectively wrapped by the corresponding flexible dielectric layers 150.

The stacked multilayer structure can increase the range of the flexible chip 130.

In the case of a multilayer structure, the mounting location 161 corresponding to the passive device 163 is also opened on the surface layer of the flexible medium layer 150 at the farthest end away from the flexible substrate 100, and the same is to reduce the influence of the passive device 163 on the coating of the flexible medium layer 150.

The interface 162 is also formed on the surface of the flexible dielectric layer 150 at the farthest end away from the flexible substrate 100, so as to facilitate the electrical connection with the outside.

In a third aspect, as shown in fig. 12, 24 and 25, in an embodiment, the invention provides a fully flexible display module, which includes any one of the above-mentioned fully flexible display driving modules, and further includes a flexible display screen 190, the flexible display screen 190 is fixed on the second side of the flexible substrate 100, and the flexible display screen 190 is electrically connected to the flexible chip 130 through a first interconnection structure.

The flexible display 190 includes a metal cable 191 disposed on one side, and the flexible display 190 is electrically connected to the flexible chip 130 through the metal cable 191 and the first interconnection structure.

Specifically, the first interconnection structure includes a first connection line 141, and the fully flexible display driving module further includes a metal bump 180; the first connection line 141 may penetrate through the flexible substrate 100 or may be externally wound.

Therefore, the metal cable 191 of the flexible display 190 may be electrically connected to the flexible chip 130 through the first connection line 141, and may also be electrically connected to the flexible chip 130 through the first connection line 141 and the metal bump 180.

In one embodiment, an anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200 may be further coated on one side of the flexible display 190, and accordingly, the metal cable 191 of the flexible display 190 may be electrically connected to the flexible chip 130 through the anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200, the metal bump 180 and the first connection line 141.

Through above-mentioned full flexible display module assembly, adopt flexible substrate 100 as the processing substrate, carry out the preparation of flexible display actuating system, finally only need fix flexible display screen 190 in flexible substrate 100 second side, can obtain full flexible display module assembly. Thereby avoided among the prior art direct processing preparation on flexible display screen 190 to damage flexible display screen 190 easily, improved the yield of full flexible display module assembly, reduced comprehensive cost, improved efficiency.

As shown in fig. 1 to 12, the fully flexible display driving module and the fully flexible display module can be obtained by the following packaging method, including:

as shown in fig. 1, a flexible substrate 100 is provided, the flexible substrate 100 includes a first side and a second side opposite to each other; the second side of the flexible substrate 100 is fixed to a first rigid carrier 121 by a first temporary bonding layer 111.

The flexible substrate 100 may be made of polyimide, but may be made of other materials. The size of the flexible substrate 100 needs to match the flexible display screen 190.

However, when the thickness of the flexible substrate 100 is insufficient, the flexible substrate is easily bent and deformed during processing, and is inconvenient to manufacture, so that the flexible substrate needs to be fixed to the first rigid carrier 121. Of course, in other embodiments, if the thickness of the flexible substrate 100 is large enough, the flexible substrate itself is not easily bent, and the first rigid carrier 121 may not be needed. Whether the fixation is needed or not is selected according to the actual situation, so that the resource can be reasonably utilized and the efficiency is improved.

The first temporary bonding layer 111 may be a thermal foaming double-sided tape, or a laser response material and a bonding layer material which are matched with each other, the laser response material is coated on the first rigid carrier 121, the bonding layer material is coated on the flexible substrate 100, and then the flexible substrate 100 and the first rigid carrier 121 are bonded together in a vacuum hot-pressing manner.

The material of the first rigid carrier 121 may be glass or other rigid materials.

After the flexible substrate 100 is fixed, a flexible display driving system can be manufactured on the first side of the flexible substrate 100, the flexible display driving system generally comprises corresponding chips, lines, devices, filling media and the like, and the method comprises the following specific steps:

as shown in fig. 1 and 2, after the flexible substrate 100 is fixed, a plurality of flexible chips 130 are attached to the first side of the flexible substrate 100.

The flexible chip 130 includes a flexible display driving chip, and may further include a flexible touch chip or a flexible voltage stabilizing chip.

In an embodiment, when the flexible chips 130 are mounted, the flexible chips 130 may be respectively mounted on preset positions by using a high-precision chip mounter, and the flexible chips 130 and the flexible substrate 100 are bonded by using a DAF film (wafer bonding film), and then placed in a vacuum oven for curing after mounting, so as to ensure that the flexible chips 130 do not displace in the subsequent processing process.

The preset position is a position of each flexible chip 130, which is predetermined according to the number of the flexible chips 130 and the electrical connection relationship before the flexible display driving system is manufactured. Specifically, the size of the flexible substrate 100 and the size of each flexible chip 130 need to be considered.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, an interconnect structure capable of covering the flexible chip 130 is fabricated on the flexible substrate 100 by means of rewiring. The interconnect structure includes: a second interconnect structure interconnecting between the plurality of flexible chips 130, the second interconnect structure in turn comprising second connection lines 142; a first interconnection structure for electrically connecting the flexible chip 130 and the flexible display screen 190, the first interconnection structure further including a first connection line 141; and a third interconnection structure for electrically connecting the flexible chip 130 and an external control board, the third interconnection structure further including a third connection line 143. The flexible display driving system further comprises a flexible dielectric layer 150 encasing the interconnect structure. Note that the term "wrap" in this embodiment is not limited to complete enclosure, but also includes partial enclosure, for example, the first connecting line 141 is not completely enclosed by the flexible dielectric layer 150, but also belongs to the term "wrap" in this embodiment.

It should be noted that the first interconnect structure may include only the first connection line 141, and in other embodiments, the first interconnect structure may be any single structure or combined structure capable of implementing the function, and may specifically include conductors and/or devices, and the same holds true for the second interconnect structure and the third interconnect structure. In addition, "line" of the first, second, and third connection lines 141, 142, and 143 is merely represented as a conductor for connection, and its specific shape includes, but is not limited to, one or more of a line, a mesh, and a hole.

The first connecting line 141 penetrates the flexible substrate 100, and one end of the first connecting line is electrically connected to the flexible chip 130, and the other end of the first connecting line extends to the second side of the flexible substrate 100. In other embodiments, the first connection line 141 may not penetrate through the flexible substrate 100, and may be externally wound. When the second side of the flexible substrate 100 and the flexible display 190 are pressed together, the second side of the flexible substrate 100 needs to be provided with a conductive portion, so that the first connecting line 141 penetrates through the flexible substrate 100 to reach the second side of the flexible substrate 100, and when the flexible substrate 100 and the flexible display 190 are pressed together, an electrical connection is also established.

Certainly, in other connection modes, the second side of the flexible substrate 100 may not be provided with a conductive portion, and the second side of the flexible substrate 100 is provided with the conductive portion, so that the flexible display screen 190 and the flexible substrate 100 can be better pressed and combined, and the electrical connection can be realized only by pressing and combination, thereby improving the stability of integration. Secondly, through the mode that runs through, can make overall structure simpler and high-efficient.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, after the interconnection structure is manufactured, the relevant passive device 163 needs to be mounted, so that a mounting position for mounting the passive device 163 in the flexible dielectric layer 150 needs to be removed, so that the second connection line 142 can be exposed, and the mounting position 161 for mounting the passive device 163 is obtained.

In one embodiment, when the flexible dielectric layer 150 is removed, the interface 162 for electrically connecting the third connecting line 143 with the control board may be exposed.

The interface bits 162 are provided on the surface layer for facilitating the insertion of the external interface.

The material removing mode can be selected according to the sizes of the mounting position 161 and the interface position 162. If the size is larger and the required precision requirement is not high, the material can be removed by adopting a laser mode, and the cost is lower by adopting the laser mode; if the size is smaller and the required precision requirement is higher, a photoetching mode is adopted to remove materials. It should be noted that, if the material removing method adopts photolithography, the material of the flexible dielectric layer 150 at the corresponding position is a photosensitive material, such as photosensitive polyimide.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, when the mounting sites 161 are completed, the passive devices 163 are mounted in the corresponding mounting sites 161.

The passive device 163 is attached on the surface layer of the flexible medium layer 150, which is far away from the flexible substrate 100. In this way, considering that the thickness of the passive device 163 is large, if the passive device is disposed in the middle layer, the flexible dielectric layer 150 needs to be coated in a thick layer, however, since the material characteristics of the flexible dielectric layer 150 are not suitable for thick coating, and it is not easy to control thick coating, the flexible dielectric layer is disposed on the surface layer, and then the electrical protection can be performed by covering an electrical protection layer 170. The material of the electrical protection layer 170 includes an epoxy adhesive, which is easily applied thickly.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, in one embodiment, since the mounted passive device 163 is partially exposed, in order to increase the reliability and avoid external interference, an electrical protection layer 170 is formed to cover the passive device 163. Of course, the electrical protection layer 170 may be chosen not to be manufactured for cost reduction or other reasons. The material of the electrical protection layer 170 includes epoxy adhesive.

Since the interface 162 is covered when the electrical protection layer 170 is coated, the material of the electrical protection layer 170 corresponding to the interface 162 needs to be removed after the electrical protection layer 170 is coated. Similarly, the material removal can be carried out in a reasonable mode according to actual conditions, and laser material removal is preferred if the size is larger.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, after the above-mentioned processes are completed, the first rigid carrier 121, which was previously used for fixing, is peeled off. Here, the "completing the above processing process" includes, but is not limited to, "completing the manufacturing of the electrical protection layer 170", and there is a possibility that the first rigid carrier 121 is peeled off at any step before "completing the manufacturing of the electrical protection layer 170".

Selecting a corresponding stripping mode according to the material of the first temporary bonding layer 111 in the stripping process, for example, if the material of the first temporary bonding layer 111 is a thermal foaming double-sided tape, placing the thermal foaming double-sided tape into a thermal debonding bonding machine, and heating to 120 ℃ to realize stripping; if the material of the first temporary bonding layer 111 is the matching laser response material and bonding layer material, the peeling can be performed by a laser debonding method.

As shown in fig. 8 and 9, in order to form the metal bump 180 at the end of the first connection line 141 on the second side of the flexible substrate 100, the electrical protection layer 170 needs to be fixed to the second rigid carrier 122 through the second temporary bonding layer 112.

The materials of the second temporary bonding layer 112 and the second rigid carrier 122 are the same as those of the first temporary bonding layer 111 and the first rigid carrier 121, and may be arbitrarily selected according to actual situations, which is not described herein again.

The second rigid carrier 122 is fixed for better manufacturing the metal bumps 180, and it is needless to fix the second rigid carrier 122 if the metal bumps 180 can be well manufactured without fixing the second rigid carrier 122. The steps of forming the metal bump 180 and the first, second and third connecting lines 141, 142 and 143 are similar, and mainly adopt a rewiring manner, which will be described in detail below.

Among other things, in one embodiment, since the metal bumps 180 are used for better electrical connection with the flexible display screen 190, if the flexible display screen 190 itself has corresponding bumps, the metal bumps 180 do not need to be fabricated, and the second rigid carrier 122 does not need to be fixed.

After the second rigid carrier 122 is fixed, the metal bumps 180 are formed at the end of the first connecting lines 141 on the second side of the flexible substrate 100. The above mentioned existence of the metal bump 180 is not needed to be made, and is not described in detail herein.

As shown in fig. 9 and 10, after the metal bumps 180 are formed, the second rigid carrier 122 is peeled off. The peeling-off manner is the same as that of the first rigid carrier 121, and is not described herein again. After the step is finished, the full-flexible display driving module is obtained.

As shown in fig. 11 and 12, an anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200 is coated on the back surface of the flexible display 190, and the anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200 has a characteristic of being conductive under pressure, so that when the flexible display is locally pressed, the resistance is reduced, thereby realizing the conductivity. The electrical connection between the first connection line 141 and the metal bus line 191 of the flexible display screen 190 can be more stable by the anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200. In the present embodiment, the first connection lines 141 are electrically connected to the metal bus bars 191 of the flexible display 190 by the metal bumps 180 pressing the anisotropic conductive adhesive layer 200, but other methods may be adopted instead of the metal bumps 180.

After the above steps are completed, the flexible display screen 190 and the flexible substrate 100 are pressed under a vacuum condition, so as to obtain a fully flexible display module.

As shown in fig. 13, when the flexible chip 130 is mounted and the interconnection structure is manufactured on the first side of the flexible substrate 100, the flexible chip 130 and the interconnection structure corresponding to the first layer of flexible chip 130 are stacked in multiple layers, that is, in the thickness direction of the flexible substrate 100, the interconnection structure corresponding to the first layer of flexible chip 130 and the interconnection structure corresponding to the second layer of flexible chip 130 are sequentially arranged along the direction away from the flexible substrate 100, and so on, in fig. 13, a two-layer structure is shown, and in other embodiments, three layers, four layers, and so on may be used. The packaging method of each layer is the same as that described above, and will not be described herein.

As shown in fig. 14-21, in one embodiment, the step of fabricating the interconnect structure includes:

wherein the first connecting line 141, the second connecting line 142 and the third connecting line 143 in the first interconnect structure are simultaneously fabricated.

As shown in fig. 14 and 15, a first flexible dielectric layer 151 capable of covering the flexible chip 130 is first coated on the flexible substrate 100, and the first flexible dielectric layer 151 is a photosensitive flexible dielectric layer, because the first flexible dielectric layer 151 is used to expose the pads, photosensitive materials are required, and the precision can be ensured by photolithography exposure.

The first flexible dielectric layer 151 may be made of polyimide.

And then, photoetching exposure is carried out on the position of the first flexible medium layer 151 corresponding to the pad, the position where a through hole is to be formed is determined according to the design position of the first connecting wire 141, and material removing exposure is carried out on the position to obtain the through hole, and the material removing of the position of the through hole does not need high precision, so that the material removing can be carried out by adopting laser, and the photoetching can be also adopted.

The pads are exposed for subsequent interconnection between the flexible chips 130 and electrical connection with the flexible display 190 and the control board.

As shown in fig. 15 and 16, a plating seed layer 210 is deposited on the exposed pads, vias and the surface of the first flexible dielectric layer 151 by magnetron sputtering, and the purpose of the seed layer 210 is to make the exposed pads electrically connected so as to have electrical conductivity, as is the case with vias.

The seed layer 210 may be made of chromium or gold.

As shown in fig. 16, 17 and 18, the photoresist layer 152 is continuously coated on the surface of the seed layer 210, the photoresist layer 152 is also used for exposing the pads and the interconnection lines for the second time, but the photoresist layer 152 is only used for forming a depth difference in cooperation with the first flexible dielectric layer 151 so as to manufacture the interconnection structure, so that the photoresist layer 152 needs to be removed after the manufacturing is completed, the photoresist layer 152 only plays a role of an intermediate transition in the process and does not remain in the finally completed display module, and the photoresist is relatively cheap, which is part of the reason why other photosensitive flexible dielectric layers are not continuously adopted.

The required lines, pads and vias are then exposed by photolithography.

As shown in fig. 18 and 19, the conductive metal 153 is filled on the exposed lines, pads and through holes by plating, and the conductive metal 153 and the seed layer 210 constitute first connecting lines 141, second connecting lines 142 and third connecting lines 143 (refer to fig. 3) in different regions, respectively.

The conductive metal 153 may be copper or other metal.

As shown in fig. 19 and 20, after the conductive metal 153 is filled, the excess photoresist layer 152 and the seed layer 210 are removed. The photoresist layer 152 may be removed by a special photoresist remover or by acetone. The seed layer 210 is removed by a metal etchant, such as gold etchant or chromium etchant, corresponding to the metal component of the seed layer 210.

As shown in fig. 20 and 21, after removing the excess photoresist layer 152 and the seed layer 210, the second flexible dielectric layer 154 is coated, and the second flexible dielectric layer 154 is mainly used for protecting the circuit, and is then used for forming the corresponding mounting position 161 and the interface position 162 (refer to fig. 4), so that whether the second flexible dielectric layer 154 needs the photosensitive material can be considered by the size and precision of the mounting position 161 and the interface position 162.

The first flexible dielectric layer 151 and the second flexible dielectric layer 154 together form the flexible dielectric layer 150 (see fig. 3) that can cover the interconnect structure.

If the density of the bonding pads of the flexible chip 130 is too high, the above steps are repeated until the wiring of all the interfaces is completed.

In one embodiment, the metal bump 180 is formed in a similar manner to the first connecting line 141, the second connecting line 142 and the third connecting line 143, but the photoresist layer 152 may be omitted because the metal bump 180 is formed without forming a depth difference. The remaining steps are not described in detail.

As shown in fig. 22 and 23, in one embodiment, mounting the passive device 163 into the mounting location 161 includes:

a metal layer 164 is electroplated in the mounting site 161, and then the passive device 163 is mounted in the mounting site 161 by means of SMT (Surface Mount Technology Surface assembly Technology), and the passive device 163 is finally electrically connected to the second connection line 142 by means of the metal layer 164, where SMT is suitable for leadless or short-lead device mounting.
